Well, Matt submitted his application yesterday and reapplied to Blinn for the spring semester. We met with the director of the program that he had been pursuing before the Christmas break, and there was a question about one requirement that the director was going to look into, but other than that, Matt needs 10 hours to complete his associates in this program. So we decided that he's going to go back to school this semester and take those 10 hours.
Oh, I haven't mentioned yet that it's chemistry 1411 (NOT cowboy chem), Engligh 2311 and an arson investigation class.
And he's still working his normal job(s) in Houston and at the hospital.
We really feel like this is where God is leading us, because we calculated that these 10 hours were going to cost just under $1000 - extra money that we didn't have just sitting around (who does, right?). Well, I received a departmental staff award yesterday that came with a stipend...in that amount.
However, based on his work schedule, we need VERY specific sections of chemistry and English, and he's already been told that he'll be forced into the arson investigation course. Please pray that when he registers that he'll be able to get into those specific sections - either on his own or through forcing.
It almost goes without saying that this will be hard both on Matt and our family. Without belaboring that point, I'll just ask that you guys please pray for Matt while he's taking these classes and for our family as we're trying to cope with additional pressures on his time that impact us as a family.
